Michigan All-Time at NCAAs
The Wolverines have finished outside the top 25 on only two occasions in the last 25 years under head coach Jim Richardson, one of which came in his first year at the helm (1986 - 31st; Other: 2002 - 27th). In all, Richardson, a two-time NCAA Coach of the Year (1993 & 1995), has coached eight national champions and 162 to All-America honors.

The Wolverines have scored 13 top-10 finishes in their history, including a runner-up team finish in 1995. Michigan has had at least one NCAA All-American every year since 2002.

Last Season at NCAAs
Michigan finished 15th at the 2010 NCAA Championships, held in West Lafayette, Ind. Former swimmers Margaret Kelly(2007-10) and Emily Brunemann(2006-10) were NCAA All-Americans in the individual events while also earning All-America honorable mention on the relays with Moodie, Mehesan, former Wolverine Leigh Cole(2007-10) and current juniors Liz Johnson(Milford, Mich./Milford) and Liz Koselka(Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer).

TEAM NOTES

New Additions
The Wolverines inked two divers -- Emily Boyd(Monrovia, Calif./Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy) and Marina Nazario(Fort Lauderdale, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) --to National Letters of Intent during the early signing period on Nov. 17. Boyd and Nazario both dive for club teams that are affiliated with USA Diving. Michigan did not add any swimmers during the period.

Young and Old
As a team, Michigan has one of the youngest rosters in the country. Out of the 30 members on the squad, 21 of them are redshirt sophomores or younger, including eight freshmen. After graduating 13 seniors off last year's squad, this year's roster has only two -- Moodie (swimmer) and diver Rachael Ropeik(Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron).

Coaching StaffJim Richardson concludes his 26th season at the helm for the Wolverines and is the longest-tenured women's swimming coach in the Big Ten. Over that time, his teams have dominated the Big Ten, winning 12 consecutive league titles from 1987-98 to add to the program's 13th in 2001 and 14th in 2004. Since taking over in 1985-86, Michigan has finished in the NCAA top 10 on 14 occasions. In 1995, U-M finished in second place as a team, following that in 1996 by hosting the NCAA Championships and finishing third.

Richardson holds a career record of 169-71 in dual-meet competition, including an impressive 111-22 mark in Big Ten action. Richardson has coached nine individual national champions, 158 NCAA All-Americans and 195 NCAA Honorable Mention All-Americans. On the conference level, he has guided 165 individual and relay conference champions and has been named the Big Ten Coach of the Year six times. A two-time NCAA Coach of the Year (1993, '95), Richardson's athletes have excelled in the classroom as well as the pool with 30 CSCAA Academic All-Americans and 236 Academic All-Big Ten nominations.

KZ Li is in his first season as the head diving coach, and Stefanie Kerska is in her 13th season as an assistant to Richardson.
